Water vapor is one of the components of the air in the atmosphere. What change causes the water vapor in the air to form clouds?
As air rises, the water becomes heavier and changes form.
As it cools, water vapor in air condenses to liquid or solid forms.
As the air becomes less dense, water molecules collide and form drops.
As air rises in the atmosphere, it becomes warmer and cannot hold as much water.
SC.6.E.7.2
During an El Niño year, the surface waters in the Southern Pacific Ocean are warmer than during an average year and can affect weather patterns many thousands of kilometers away from the Pacific Ocean. What effect is most responsible for these weather pattern changes?
Increase in evaporation of water from the ocean surface
decrease in the density of water at and near the surface
decrease in reflection from the surface as clouds form above the water
a change in the height of waves at the surface as water temperature changes
SC.6.E.7.3
Which of these statements correctly compares the effect of the Gulf Stream on the climates of Portland, Maine and London, England?
The current affects London more because London is farther north than Portland.
The current affects Portland more because Portland is closer to the Gulf of Mexico.
The current affects both cities equally because it flows about the same distance from each city.
The current affects London more because winds in the Northern Hemisphere blow from west to east.
SC.6.E.7.3
Coastal areas of California, near San Francisco, generally have much lower temperatures than places like Fresno a few hundred mile inland. Why do these coastal areas have low temperatures?
Coastal areas receive less solar energy than inland areas.
A cold ocean current absorbs heat from winds blowing toward the coast.
The water of the ocean cannot absorb as much energy as the soil farther inland.
Mountains prevent winds from blowing warm air from the desert westward to the coast.
SC.7.E.7.4
Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida in September 2017. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the interactions in Earth’s spheres as Hurricane Irma made landfall?
Beach erosion was the result of the interaction between the hydrosphere and geosphere.
Flash floods were the result of the interaction between the atmosphere and geosphere.
Intensification of Irma resulted from interaction between the hydrosphere and atmosphere.
All of the above are correct.
SC.7.E.7.4
Earth’s polar ice caps are melting. Which of the following best describes the loss of the cryosphere on the biosphere at Earth’s poles?
Loss of ice results in fewer hunting grounds for wildlife.
Loss of ice results in more places for animals to swim.
Loss of ice results in more places for plants to grow.
Loss of ice results in more habitable land for wildlife.
SC.7.E.7.5
How does energy from the Sun contribute to the production of winds on the Earth?
Different areas absorb heat differently, so warmer air rises and cooler air moves in to fill the gap.
The Sun’s energy comes in radiating waves, which move the atmosphere around as they go through it.
Gravity pulls the air down from the mountaintops to the valleys and oceans, and this pushes on the air below.
Oceans heat and cool faster than the land, so they affect the air above them more than the land does.
SC.7.E.7.5
Which of the following explanations best describes the cause of global winds?
atmospheric convection of heat from hotter equatorial regions to cooler polar regions
the winds caused by uneven heating between the day and night side of the planet
radiation from warm regions to cooler regions
conduction of heat in Earth’s crust balancing out the Sun’s energy at the equator
SC.6.E.7.6
Weather and climate are related but they are not the same. What is the difference between weather and climate of a specific place?
Weather refers to precipitation while climate refers to temperature changes.
Weather refers to conditions at a particular time but climate to conditions over a long period.
Weather is a prediction about conditions but climate is the range of weather that can occur.
Weather can change from day to day but climate conditions are a permanent factor of a specific place.
SC.7.N.1.2
Which statement best describes the use of replication to verify the results of a scientific discovery?
Several scientists observe one scientist conduct experiments and compare their notes on the results obtained.
.One scientist repeats the same experiment multiple times and compares the results obtained.
One scientist performs several different experiments and compares the results obtained.
Several scientists perform the same experiment separately and compare their results with the original experiment results.
SC.6.N.1.4
Janet and Ahmad are both doing a science project about growing grass. They both sprinkle grass seed on a box of soil 10 cm by 15 cm by 5 cm deep. They plant their grass seed on the same day. They water the seeds with 50 mL of water every other day. After four days, the grass seed sprouts. After three weeks, Ahmad’s grass is 2 cm taller than Janet’s. What might account for the difference in growth rates?
the amount of sun each box received
the time of year the students planted the grass
the box of soil Ahmad used for planting was much larger than Janet’s soil box
the number of seeds Ahmad planted was greater than the number Janet planted
SC.7.N.1.5
A biologist studies living or once-living organisms. When a biologist thinks he has discovered a new plant, he classifies it. What method is he most likely to use to in his pursuit of scientific explanation?
He uses experimentation.
He plants it and observes the growth.
He compares its traits to other plants he knows.
He measures it and draws a bar graph for its different parts.
SC.7.N.1.5
Geologists explain why the Earth is shaped the way it is. What is one method that geologists have used to gain knowledge and develop scientific explanations about how mountains form?
Geologists make maps of current mountain ranges
Geologists create new mountain ranges under the ocean.
Geologists observe the formation of new mountain ranges each year.
Geologists use models to show what happens to the Earth when mountains are formed.
